Conclusion; we are not buildings motors right now, maybe in the future...
I don't understand your reasoning behind this, perhaps if you can explain.
Tofas is a piece of shit and not worthly. Amq cheap fiat nothing more. Its not difficult to make a 4 stroke engine, the problem is nobody want to invest. So i dont see a Turkish engine for automotive, yes licence production maybe.
Let's say we have a engine develops. In which car are we going to use? Its not only developing engine but its needs to be cost effective.
When bmw is developing a engine and a model they are putting 300 a 500 milion euro. Which company is going to invest bilions?
Ford Otosan is making a killing with the engine they developed, the R&D costs was around $50mil and anyone who wants to use that engine for their vehicles have to pay license fees.
